Welcome to another edition of Strange Encounters, the podcast.

I'm your host, Rick Burgess.

Thank you for being with us.

I'm host of the Rick Burgess Show.

If you would like to find out more about that, we do a five-hour show Monday through Friday,

and all the details can be

found at Rick Burgess Show.com. And we talk about many things, but this podcast is designed to talk

about one thing, and that is the supernatural concerning angels and demons, a spiritual warfare.

What Scripture says is raging all around us, and the

Apostle Paul instructed us that every day, since that battle is waiting on us, that we need to

prepare for the battle. So the battle's happening, whether you or I want to participate in that

or not, it is going on. So what we hope to do here is to try to help with that

preparation, answer some questions, investigate some of these things. We also do a lot of this in

men's ministry because there's so much that's happening in spiritual warfare concerning men in our country, the destruction of the

headship that God has given to every man, men and women equal, of course, but beautifully distinct.

And so we reach and equip and disciple men with the ministry called the manchurch.com.

So you can go to that website to find out everything that we do there.

And then my wife, Sherry, and I also do a lot of marriage ministry together.

And you can find out more about those things by going to burgess ministries.com.

Today, we've done some of this, but it's time again for us to talk to someone who has been in the middle of spiritual warfare and hear their story and maybe ask some follow-up questions.

And today, Brian McLean is our guest.

And full disclosure, Brian and I know each other.
